EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- Two current and one former Wal-Mart employee are suing the retail giant for allegedly retaliating against them after they filed workers' compensation claims.
The lawsuit filed in Canadian County asks for class-action status. The three say the company discourages the filing of workers' comp claims by retaliating against those who do by reducing their hours, demoting them or cutting their pay.
They also say Wal-Mart has an unsafe working environment where injuries are inevitable.
A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart at its Arkansas headquarters says the company hasn't been served with the suit and couldn't comment on the specifics.
